(info below is outdated. Try the
unofficial 1.06 patch instead)

Addon CD that enables the New Missions list and adds new missions taken from the publicly released Covert Ops demo and from the console versions of C&C:
Download(s):
(if anyone can re-upload it to some other host it'd be much appreciated... leeching bandwidth from a friend for a big public download is probably not such a good idea)
This CD doesn't contain any of the new data found on the Covert Ops CD (which is not released as freeware so far), and is thus 100% legal.
Note that the 4 patches mentioned below are included on this CD.
--------------------
Notes:
If your screen turns black when you try to run C&C95, open CCSETUP.EXE and set the screen resolution to 640x480
If that doesn't help, try lowering your screen refresh rate to (at least) 70 Hz.
--------------------
Patches/fixes:
Note that none of these are official. This is mostly because EA doesn't care about fixing the game, though. I've thoroughly tested all of these, and they all work fine. Hi-res patch is a bit buggy on small missions, but nothing too dramatic.
Scorpio9a's C&C95 & RA95 Windows XP and network play thipx32.dll patch:
http://www.understorm.net/thipx/
-Allows network & online play on XP
-Loads better than the official thipx32.dll XP patch
VK's C&C95 1.05 patch:
http://forums.revora.net/index.php?showtopic=54009
-Makes the game run natively on XP (without needing compatibility mode)
-Fixes one of the most notorious crashes in the game, which happened when the player's units come near an edge of the map.
Nyerguds & Komfr's C&C95 High-resolution patch:
http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/View.ph...n.Detail&id=85
-Allows you to play the game in higher resolutions.

At the moment, stick with 1024x768. It's the most reliable one. The others might not work on all graphics cards.
Komfr's C&C95 Stealth Crash patch:
http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/...ealthpatch.zip (needs
this tool to work. Read spatch.txt for more info)
-fixes a notorous bug that crashes the game if a stealth animation is played in the lower right side of the screen
I still need tot make a decent all-in-one patch, in which I can put some more crash fixes I got on my hard disk, and where you can select the resolution form a nice graphical program much like CCSETUP.EXE
